    Default Conundrum (slove it)

    OK all, head wrecker

    A high school has a strange principal. On the first day, he has his students perform an odd opening day ceremony:

    There are one thousand lockers and one thousand students in the school. The principal asks the first student to go to every locker and open it. Then he has the second student go to every second locker and close it. The third goes to every third locker and, if it is closed, he opens it, and if it is open, he closes it. The fourth student does this to every fourth locker, and so on. After the process is completed with the thousandth student, how many lockers are open?

    BTW you have about 5 mins left before the "edit post" option expires to fix the spelling mistake in the title....looks like you drained your own brain working it out before you posted

    This comes down to square numbers. There are 31 square numbers between 1 and 1000 so I'd say there are 31 lockers open.
